Man seen shoving woman to the ground in alleged road rage incident

DigitalVision/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — A 28-year-old man was captured pushing a woman to the ground in an alleged road rage incident in New Hampshire caught on camera by a fellow motorist.

The driver who recorded the alleged incident, Jennifer Needham, told ABC Boston affiliate WCVB that she noticed a confrontation begin to escalate between a woman driving a Toyota Prius and a man driving the vehicle in front of her on Sunday.

Needham said that as she pulled up to the scene, the man was approaching the woman’s car. As Needham began recording, the man had returned to his car, and the woman, dressed in a yellow puffer coat, is seen in the video exiting her Prius to confront the driver in front of her.

Seconds after the man opens the driver’s side door, he is seen using two hands to forcefully shove the woman, who immediately falls on her back onto the snowy median.

“When I saw that she was shoved to the ground, part of me was just like, ‘Did that really happen?’” Needham told WCVB.

The incident occurred Sunday morning near the Henri Bourque Highway just before noon, according to the Nashua Police Department, which described it as a “brief road rage” event.
